Highly recommended!
We had a very nice day at Addo. Thanks to Carlin's good networking, we even saw a lion. We were picked up from our accommodation on time and brought back again. All-round carefree package with very competent information about the animals in the park. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Addo safari thanks to Luke and Carlin’s Tours
We had an absolutely fantastic full-day safari in Addo National Park with Carlin’s Tours and our guide Luke. We visited as a family with my wife and our 3-year-old son Charlie, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Luke is an outstanding guide. Thanks to his great knowledge of the park and his excellent connections, we saw an incredible variety of animals. He clearly knows Addo inside out, and his passion for the fauna, flora and South Africa in general made the day both exciting and very informative. The conversations during the drives were a real pleasure. What impressed us most was how attentive Luke was to our young son. He constantly took Charlie into account, made him feel involved and comfortable, and ensured the pace of the day worked perfectly for a family with a small child. Charlie loved every minute of it. Lunch was delicious and there were plenty of snacks and drinks available throughout the day, which made everything very relaxed and enjoyable. We can only highly recommend this tour and especially Luke as a guide. A truly unforgettable experience for our whole family. Jay, Camille & Charlie

Great Experience..
We had a great time with Carlin at Addo Elephant Park. It was great having a private tour with just our group,we got to enjoy the tour at our pace. We saw many Elephants at the watering holes and much more. Definitely recommend Carlin's Tours Services.

Wow!
Mooie dag door Addo National Elephant Park! Seen so many elephants and so close. Furthermore, many zebras and other animals, fantastic! Lots of nice information from Carlin about the animals, the environment and history. Definitely worth a visit. And Carlin is very enthusiastic and knows a lot, we had a very nice day with him.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the feedback. We are thrilled that you had a nice experience.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $192 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Elizabeth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Port Elizabeth is not rushed.
Is Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Elizabeth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Port Elizabeth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Port Elizabeth and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Group Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Port Elizabeth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Port Elizabeth?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Elizabeth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise, Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Port Elizabeth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Port Elizabeth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
